Frank Tovey - The Fad Gadget Singles 79 - 85 (1986)

If you listen to Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Ministry, Orgy, or any other act in the electronic pop/industrial rock genre...then you HAVE to listen to Fad Gadget. Frank Tovey was doing things in 1982 that STILL sound innovative today. Electric drills, screams, collapsing new buildings, all wrapped around rock-solid songwriting. Fad Gadget is the most undeservingly forgotten act of the 1980s. Every track on the CD was re-recorded and re-mixed. Titles such as Back to Nature and Ricky's Hand hold their own with the newer stuff out there. This is what the darker side of electronic pop was like.
